TENANCY AGREEMENTS FOR NEW LETTINGS
On Public Housing Estates
Tenancy agreements will be used for new lettings on all public
housing estates from April 1 when the new Housing Department comes into
operation.
This agreement is exactly the same as that being used by the
present Housing Authority.
Tenants taking up new lettings on public housing estates, whether
they are the present Housing Authority estates, Government Low Cost
Housing or Resettlement estates, will be asked to sign the document.
The new tenant is required to pay $50 refundable deposits as
security against any demage to the flat.
Commenting on the new procedure, a Government spokesman said
it was introduced primarily to simplify and streamline the letting process.
"In addition", he added, "this will give the tenant legal status
and protection."
